Max curve?

ComfortableInClouds's icon

is there a [curve] object out there (with no tilde - something that works in the max domain, like [line] except [curve])? Thanks.

Personnally, I use a combination of line and pow 2. Note that this works only between 0 and 1. You can change the curve by changing the value of the pow.

i like this idea. one could even rewrite [curve~] to instead be with line~ and pow~. I like the flexibility pow~ provides, particularly the ability to write cubic functions.

You might want to look at using line in conjunction with lp.scampf. Cubic, quartic, quintic, exp, s-curve, u-curve... more curves and a lot easier to use than pow or expr.

It's in the Litter Starter Pack, which doesn't cost anything but a download. URL below.

I can't get Litter Starter Pack to work...

MacBook Pro, 10.4.11, Max 5...

But it really looks interesting.

All but one of the individual objects will work on Max 5 with no more than minor cosmetic issues, but the .help files rely on the object that Max 5 broke.

This is fixed in Litter Pro 1.8, but the Starter Pack is still at version 1.7.

I apologize for the inconvenience. There will be a 1.8 release of the Starter Pack in the future.

Hi ComfortableInClouds,

in fact there is a curve object, actually, curve~. Adding a number~ object you get access to both domains, Max and MSP.
Hope you enjoy it.

yea, im currently using [snapshot~ 2] connected to [curve~]. it'd be nice not to take the CPU hit of MSP objects tho. ill look into those litter objects, and into using pow with line.

Re: Castine's suggestion of lp.scampf -- I've tracked down a couple different threads on the litter packs, and all links I've found are seemingly dead. Would anyone care to at least put up a google drive link to the starter pack? (I'd be interested in checking out/ paying for the power pack, but yano. *shrug*)
